As you may or may not be already aware, the Nexus One and HTC Desire have the same Broadcom chip. Seems trivial at cursory glance until you realize the Desire has a FM radio app, which should ergo be just as feasible on the Google-branded device. Cut to xda-developers’ intersectRaven, who’s released a custom N1 kernel that theoretically brings life to the FM receptor. It’s available to download, but as for when you’ll get a chance to really use this yourself, that’s entirely up to the custom ROM developers updating their respective wares. For his part, Paul O’Brien said today he’s already got it working on an upcoming Froyo Sense build for the device — hang tight, folks, it’s coming.
[Thanks, John]

Staying warm out there? Got a cup of hot cocoa in hand? Good, because Mr. Greek35T over at AllDroid has a stable version of the (previously rough-around-the-edges) Android 2.1 ROM ready for all you Droid users to play around with. It’s officially “super fast,” and probably the best thing to happen this weekend outside of that wicked jump you built on the neighborhood sledding hill before you went and watched Avatar with all your old high school friends. Hit up the source link for the full install instructions, and there’s a video of 2.1 in action after the break.
[Thanks, Brandon]

It’s unclear exactly how MOTOBLUR software might’ve leaked into the wild, but it’s already been repurposed in the best sort of way into a G1-friendly ROM. Despite its beta status it’s looking relatively snappy, but there are still some missing elements like WiFi and Bluetooth. If anything it’s a testament to how portable and hackable Android is turning out to be so far, and we look forward to the ongoing improvements to Android by diverse manufacturers being disseminated far and wide — though if Motorola had its way, it’d probably at least happen after the relevant device has hit the market. Video is after the break.
